Morning if you are in my time zone! what do you make of this Augustus bronze - heavy As or a triumphal bronze….Curious if anyone could confirm the RIC reference. Thanks! Augustus. 27 BC -14 AD. M. Salvius Otho. Æ (30 mm, 14.23 g) Rome. CAESAR AVGVST PONT MAX TRI-BVNIC POT R/ M × SALVIVS × OTHO × III × VIR × A × A × A × F × F × around S - C Cohen 518–519 RIC I2, 75, 429 (I believe this is incorrect the above does not have a crowning victory…RIC 431?? )
And some other references are: Pangerl 52; Cohen 515 (2f.) - BMC/RE.226 - BN/R.687 -RCV.1685; Otho was triumvir monetalis in an uncertain year, possibly 11 BC or 7 BC. RIC dates these coins to 7 BC; from metallurgical analysis, C. Pannekeet dates them to 5 BC in "The_moneyers_issues_under_Augustus.pdf".
